Abstract (en)
A method and system are provided for controlling a first electronic device connectable to a second electronic device. The first electronic device comprises a touch-sensitive non-display area for detecting one or more touch-sensitive non-display area gestures. Each touch-sensitive non-display area gesture is associated with a respective function of the first electronic device. The method comprises partitioning a touch-sensitive input mechanism of the second electronic device into a non-display portion and a display portion; receiving a gesture using the non-display portion, the gesture corresponding to a touch-sensitive non-display area gesture; and determining an instruction to be performed by the first electronic device based on the gesture.
